When it is imposible to stay away, even though you know it is for the best…at least for her. This story is captivating and hard to put down before you finish. It is filled with thrilling moments, humorous dialogs, regrets, anger and enough heartwrenching scenes to last me a lifetime.
C.M. Seabrook has written an amazing and engrossing romance that took me on an emotional rollercoster.

Abbott Savage is the bad seed of the family, he is always hurting everyone around him. He drowns himself in booze, drugs, women, and fighting to numb the pain. There is only one bright light in his life, London, his best friend since childhood, he has loved her since they meet, but he refuses to bring her down. He really believes she is just too good for him.
London has loved and stood by Abbott forever, she has been his constant through all his downfalls, Now London is pregnant and the father was recently killed. Feeling like he is to blame Abbott now he knows he got to step up and help London and keep their relationship as just friends.
Abbott was in the other Savage and Saints books and in everyone he was getting into trouble and just not getting his life on track. I have rooted for his character and am so glad he found his redemption within himself, and his family and friends. It was a beautiful broken story that ended with me and a big ole smile on my face.
I love this series and was excited to get know the “black sheep” of the Savage family. Abbott has been known for participating in illegal fights and thinks of himself as a beast and unworthy of anyone’s love. But how does that fit in with him being loyal and protective of London, who he has know since they were kids. There was a lot of emotion in this book along with a number of ups and downs. I’m looking forward to the next book.
This is such a beautiful story! Abbot and London love each other, but never acted on it. All I can say is this book is definitely one of the best beauty and the beast stories o have read! There’s so many emotions throughout and I was hooked from the start!

I loved Abbott and London’s story! So much angst and still so sweet! I would definitely recommend reading this!
Abbott was a sanctioned MMA fighter, until he got shot in the shoulder. (see previous book for how this happened) He has always been the black sheep of the family. London moved around a lot when she was a child after her preacher father was convicted of fraud and spent time in jail. When she moved to Abbott’s town she was being bullied until Abbott stepped in. They became friends for life, her savior. Later London’s dad was killed in a fire when their house blew up due to a gas leak. Abbott believed he caused it from smoking, and didn’t find out until years later that he didn’t. Abbott and London fought the attraction they felt for each other and Abbott introduced London to Kyle, who was studying to be a doctor. He was killed (see previous book for the story) and Abbott took care of London who became pregnant with Kyle’s child. Abbott was messed up on alcohol, drugs, and women. Can he ever turn his life around? What happens to the relationship with London? What happens to the child?

Come On! I am coasting on Seabrook overload! ( I love it! )
The Savage and Saints crew along with The Moody and Theo Fighting Duo, and talk of The Wild Irish all in Abbott Savage and London McClain’s road to forgiveness, admittance, healing and true love!
What a wickedly powerful read! I have always been a rooter for the underdog, and in this case, Ms.Seabrook does Abbott justice!
Beautifully heartbreaking, with a perfect mix of grit, deep down emotional darkness, loathsome feelings and the rabbit hole that can accompany it- with humor, happy circumstances and family whether you want them or not.
The connection between these characters is felt in every interaction; I swear my heart beats increased, and I had butterflies and goosebumps with every line.
A perfectly imperfect addition to the Savage and Saints Series that has moved to the top of my favorites list!
You will want to read this book!

We finally have Abbott’s story and we get a deeper understanding of why he was such an ass.
I did enjoy this story, but my heart hurt for Abbott and all the guilt he was holding. Apparently, London was his best friend and the only girl he loved, but because of his guilt he pushed her away and gave her to his best friend, Kyle. I liked London and the fact that she never gave up on Abbott even when he was being a major buttmole to everyone. I will say although they both loved Kyle, it did feel like they both kind of used him in a way, however, I don’t think they did on purpose.
Abbott, the Beast of Port Clover, had met his match when he was kid; now it’s time for him to become the man London believes to him to be or let the darkness win for good.
I hope we get Jasper or Liam’s book soon 🙂
I loved Gravity and Salvage so I jumped at the chance to read Beast as an ARC. I really enjoyed Abbott’s book and his journey to becoming the man London knew he could be. Lots of tropes in here, but they are well done and written in a way that doesn’t seem trope-y. My only complaint, if I have to give one, would be the “I am a beast, hear me roar” inner monologue that Abbott had. I got it, you’re damaged, you’re not good enough, etc. Luckily that ended before it became obnoxious. Otherwise, another winner in Port Clover! This can be read as a standalone but characters and events are intertwined, so reading the other books help with the backstory. This book was a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. Now I’m off to read the one I missed-I feel like hanging with the Savages a little while longer. Enjoy!

This is a friends to lovers book. London and Abbott have been best friends for years. Abbott has kept his distance because of his demons. He believes things that are not quite correct and it makes him feel unworthy of London. London has had feelings from day one, but stays at arm’s length because she thinks that is what Abbott wants. This is a slow buildup romance.
An amazing swoon worthy read. Abbott is a beast of a man who becomes whole with the love of London. Their story takes you on an emotional roller coaster that leaves you wanting more. A fantastic read.
Favorite quote: Abbott ~ “I’m darkness and fury, a beast unable to control his demons. But when I’m with her, her light filters through, filling me.”
***Squeeeeee****
I’ve been waiting for Abbott’s book for a while now. So glad to finally be able to find out why he was so self destructive. Finally find out what’s going on in his heart and in his head. Abbott isnt very likeable in the first couple of pages but was so very happy when he turned that around quickly.
I just loved this couple.
This is a standalone and can be read by itself. But I suggest reading from the beginning of the series. Just to get the full story
